Let's find out how much she usually deposits into savings by figuring out how much 3/9 and 1/4 is.  Like this:

7/12

imstuck · Answer

$3460.96 times 3/9 = 1153.65  That goes into household expenses.  Then she puts 1/4 away for school, so 1/4 of $3460.96 is 865.24.  Add those together and it comes to 2018.89.  That leaves $3460.96-2018.89=1442.07

$1442.07 is what she usually has left to put away for savings.  It's telling you that this month she deposited twice the amount into her savings than normal.  So how much did she deposit this month?

i see that you have a fraction for an answer?  I don't know if it is correct, I didn't check it, but I think they want a dollar amount as an answer.

anonymous · Answer

1442.07 is the answer

imstuck · Answer

No it's not the answer.  That 1442.07 is the amount she puts away for one month normally.  They asked you how much she deposited if she put away twice that normal amount this month.

No it's not the answer.  That 1442.07 is the amount she puts away for one month normally.  They asked you how much she deposited if she put away twice that normal amount this month.
